5.00This sunset dolphin cruise was super affordable and the captain and crew were great. The cruise started with an informative tour around the harbor; then we went to open water to watch the dolphins play; and concluded the tour with a beautiful sunset. Great music on board throughout the tour. What a great way to enjoy a warm spring evening!
Unprofessional - time waisters. They cancelled but said it was my fault becasue I booked with 3rd party.

1.00booked and drove 45 minutes only to be told upon arrival that they were going to wait 10 more minutes... but if no one else book they were cancelling. No call or text about it ...no apology for wasting our time. Unprofessional. Fortunately we walked down to AJ's and they took us out right away. We had a great time on AJ's (so just go there)
Great experience! We...

5.00It was our anniversary and it was a beautiful view. The only issue was the purposeful rocking and side to side motion and up and down.
Overall great experience

5.00Had a great time with the family (wife and two boys aged 4 & 6). It lasted about 90 minutes which was just the right amount of time. Saw plenty of dolphins and got a tour of Destin Harbor with lots of historical facts from the crew, who were super friendly. Plenty of cover if you want shade from the sun and the middle cabin is air conditioned if you want to escape the heat.
Disappointed in Destin

1.00It wasn’t so much a cruise, but an idling in the water. Yes, dolphins were seen. But thought there would also be more of a sunset cruise viibe. There was no guide experience with facts, etc. The staff encouraged feeding the gulls by throwing Doritos, chips (purchased on the boat) to the birds. We were sitting on the top deck so we were directly under the many birds. Not enjoyable to say the least. I was told by the staff that we would at least cruise over near crab island, but that was not to be. Our group included my husband and our adult aged daughter. Disappointing experience. I chose this excursion because we’ve had positive experiences with Viator in the past.
